Here's a strange question for you.
My school is preparing the old Icebook lab for sale, but we had some
nasty smelling keybaords.
We decided to put the whole laptops in a sealed container, with a
small container of vinegar sitting beside the iBooks.
We just dug them out of the tub today, they've been in there for just
over a week, and we discovered some disheartening news.
The metal around the inside of the battery compartments has corroded
and started creating a whitish foam, and turned the metal itself
brown.
What I (and my IT coordinator) are curious about is:
Where else is this kind of metal located?
The entire frame of the iBook.
What is it made of (or coated with)
how much could we get for a laptop in this condition?
and how easy is it to clean it up (if this has happened to you?)
Strip the iBooks down to this frame and sand off all the corrosion?
If the metal goes in further into the laptop, we'll dissect the worst
of them to discover how deep it runs, and go from there...
Many thanks
-Christian.
